MultiValue History Infographic aka Family Tree

Posted on by

Infographics are very trendy at the moment.  Quite often filled with many statistics but one of the best infographics I’ve seen and enjoyed hit my radar quite some considerable time ago. Over a decade ago, Dawn Wolthuis of Tincat Group put together an infographic on the roots of the MultiValue technology.  Dawn researched and documented the MultiValue Family Tree.   It shows the roots of the technology back to the 1960s. So, whether you’re into genealogy of technology or just interested in the roots of MultiValue systems or if you just wish to reminisce, then enjoy this Infographic. Start back in the 1960′s !

News from the 2011 Fiscal Reunion

Posted on by

Following the 2011 Fiscal Reunion, I managed to catch up with Roger Flatt, the main organiser of this event to find out how it went.   ELKIE:   Why did you decide to organise a Fiscal Reunion ? ROGER:  Mark Yoxall and myself had been trying to arrange a get together with Alex Morgan and Ross Brooker for what seemed like (and probably was) months and months, but for one reason or another it never got off the ground. Mark and myself eventually decided to name a date far enough away, and chose a place that was hopefully fairly central. ELKIE   How was the concept received ? ROGER:  Once we’d settled on … Continue reading →

Twitter’s success could be their problem Twitter is continuing to grow rapidly in popularity with more people signing up and tweeting each day. This is great news but unless you actually know how to listen and also make yourself heard, it can be a pretty pointless exercise.
